Y'ever have one of those days where you just fuck up everything you touch? Yeah. Riding this wave of ass bites me. Gotta find something amusing, and fast, before I get all emo-y all over the place.

I have not read that book. I did skim the excerpt on the link that you sent me. It's an interesting argument and, like most interesting arguments, I think there's a lot of truth to it, although I can also see several instances where it wouldn't apply. I would tweak the author's hypothesis a little to say that censorship makes people curious about things, and since vices by their nature appeal to people's baser instincts, often people who try them will like them. But if you try to stretch it too far beyond that (and, having not read the book, I don't know how far this guy goes), it seems to me that the argument would snap.
